At the otlice of the India Famine Helief
Work, Bible House, this city, under V*
the auspices of The Christian Herald, L
the following cable despatch of yesterday's
date has been received: 11
Bonbay, May 28, 1000. al'
''Dr. Klopsch has just completed his l,!i
tour of the Famine Distiicts in Uombay
Presidency, including the native stales u
of Gujerat and Garoda. Everywhere he
was confronted with shocking and re- aiv
volting scenes. He found the famine 'm
camps stampeded by cholera and small- jl
pox fugitives who had come from distant
points of infection and are now scatter- ?CiJ
ing these diseases in a'l directions. Many l<fl
arc dying in the fields and ditches and L l
along the roads.de. 111
At Gotllira, about 500 milles north of aCt
Bombay, in Gujerat district, there were iaN
3,000 deaths from cholera in four days. l,!a
At Donad, some fifty miles east of ,U|
Godhra, he found a similar frightful ot
condition of attairs, there having been ^|u
2,500 deaths fiom cholera. lu the '
hospitals the death rate as reported by ai'1
the physicians was ninety jier cant. j5,li
At Baroda, smie seventy miles south
of Godhra. l.e found in tta nmirlinnt.
1,200 natives who had been rescued from
famine. The place was dreadfully lilthv
and showed a total lack of system.
At Ahunedabad, about eighty n.i'e w"
west of Godhra, lie found the water
supply vitiated and a prolific cause of
sickness. In the poorliousc at Alimeuabad
the death-rate was ten per cent. nu
daily. The thermometer at Ahmedabad
marked 115 degrees in the shade, lie em
next visited the small-pox and cholera
wards of Viramgan. All the patients ',ut
were lying on the ground, there being no
cots for their accommodation.
Dr. Klopsch declares the stories of wo'
human bodies being devoured by vul- ?a!
tures, dogs and jackals absolutely true. VJ
It is evident, Dr. Klopsch adds, that 101
the India Government is doing its best to ina
tiglit back the ravages of famine and disease.
The native ollicials, however,* are 1,oa
heartlessly indifferent, and the condition A
of a large part of India is, as a whole, sj"11
tlie worst that, has lieen known at any l''e
time during the century. The distress to l?,) 1
be seen on eveiy side is heartrending, ,o1'
but it is to be feareil that t lie worst ii J.,n"
yet to come. This will be reached wl'.o.i fm!
the monsoon breaks and the torrential l,u*'
rains Hood the relief camps and a large (",e
part of the famine area, spreading dis- MeV
ease, and especially cholera. !1(.^
Dr. Klopsch has purchased a thousand ,lH
hand plows, which will lie given to tho.se
native agriculluiists who have lost their
oxen, lie js now arranging for the purchase
of 100,000 blankets to be distributed \
before the rainy season sets in. lie has Mr:
protested to the authorities against the .lie
employment of nursing mothers, sick of i
women and delicate children on the relief she
works, such employment being in viola- she
tion of the famine code. In this counee- assi
tion he has received an appreciative let- or t
ter from Lord Nortlicote, Governor of alYt
Bombay, promising an imnv c\iato investi- she
gation. her
It is quite clear, however, that all that bur
has beeii done will count for little unless A 1
in the crisis more help is generously and acc
quickly extended." rest

To. Oi*r Tobacco Growers, lu'1'
and
We have received the following letter, '.'.V1
and publish it for the information of all !
concerned:
Mr. Editor, Dear Sir:?Having
40 yearn experience as a tobacco grower. ,
I I have recently discovered a new theory '
which if known to them would prove a \
great benefit to farmers. one
My theory arises from the discovery
that there are certain times to cut tobacco
to make it good and waxy, and every |
grower should know just how and when ^
to cut or prime tobacco ta make it heavy thr<
hodied and waxyV
Tobacco, while growing, contains an thn
oily and sappy substance. fev
When the sap (water) raises in the exj
stalk it runs the oil out and if then cut I a
it will be light or chaffy. for
I will gladly correspond with any one, tra
who will enclose sufficient postage for a At]
reply. Yours Truly, at I
